Adopt Cedrik

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, I am Cedrik. Small, fluffy, slightly injured—but with plenty of charm in tow. I may look like a regular tomcat, but under the hood, I'm a special model: I have FELV, the Feline Leukemia Virus. And before you get nervous—relax. While I'm officially sick, I'm unofficially pretty cool. Sure, my eye might occasionally water a bit, and my nose runs like a leaky bathtub— but that's just part of my package. And when I'm a bit picky at mealtime, it's not out of malice—I just have high culinary standards. After all, if you only have five cat lives, you might as well eat well! When it comes to humans… let's just say: I'm currently in a bit of a "What do you all want from me?" mode. If you constantly prod, pet, and lick me, I'll naturally be a bit cautious. But give me time—and snacks—and I'll thaw out. Maybe not immediately into a lap cat, but hey, I'm aiming long-term to steal the remote while you're Netflix-watching. Right now, I live in my own room. It's quite nice here, but somehow… lonely. If you already have an FELV-positive cat, we could exchange Miezen-Memos and sniffs together. If not: I'll do just fine as a solo prince. As long as you have window sills, cozy blankets, and no outdoor plans for me—because I can't go outside due to the risk of contagion. —In short: I am Cedrik. Charismatic sniffly tomcat with a heart, a sense of humor, and a bit of a cough. If you're looking for someone who's not perfect but absolutely lovable—I'm ready! Just no thermometer, okay?

Hallo, ich bin Cedrik. Klein, flauschig, leicht lädiert – aber mit ordentlich Charme im Gepäck. Ich sehe vielleicht aus wie ein ganz normaler Kater, aber unter der Haube läuft hier ein Spezialmodell: Ich habe FELV, das Feline Leukämievirus. Und bevor du jetzt nervös wirst – entspann dich. Ich bin zwar offiziell krank, aber inoffiziell ziemlich cool drauf. Klar, mein Auge tränt manchmal ein bisschen, und meine Nase läuft, wie eine undichte Badewanne – aber das gehört halt zu meinem Gesamtpaket. Und wenn ich beim Fressen mal mäkle, dann nicht aus Bosheit – ich hab einfach kulinarische Ansprüche. Ich mein, wenn man schon keine fünf Katzenleben hat, will man wenigstens gut essen! Was Menschen angeht… sagen wir mal: Ich bin aktuell noch ein bisschen im „Was-wollt-ihr-eigentlich-alle-von-mir?“-Modus. Wenn man ständig gepikst, betropft und bekleckert wird, wird man eben vorsichtig. Aber gib mir Zeit – und Snacks – und ich werde auftauen. Vielleicht nicht sofort zum Schoßkater, aber hey, ich strebe langfristig an, dir beim Netflix-Schauen die Fernbedienung zu klauen. Zurzeit lebe ich in meinem eigenen Zimmer. Ganz nett hier, aber irgendwie… einsam. Falls du schon eine FELV-positive Katze hast, könnten wir zusammen Miezen-Memos austauschen und gemeinsam schniefen. Falls nicht: Ich mach mich auch ganz gut als Einzelprinz. Hauptsache, du hast Fensterbänke, Kuscheldecken und keine Outdoor-Pläne für mich – denn ich darf wegen der Ansteckungsgefahr nicht raus. — Kurz gesagt: Ich bin Cedrik. Charmanter Schnupfen-Kater mit Herz, Humor und ein bisschen Husten. Wenn du jemanden suchst, der nicht perfekt, aber absolut liebenswert ist – ich wäre soweit! Bring nur kein Fieberthermometer mit, okay?

About Cedrik

What life with Cedrik looks like

Cedrik is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Marktoberdorf in Marktoberdorf.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cedrik, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cedrik?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Marktoberdorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cedrik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cedrik if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Marktoberdorf will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Cedrik already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cedrik isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Marktoberdorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cedrik and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
